I welcome you at my little place in the world wide web. Make yourself at home, take a cup of
cocoa and enjoy your stay.

Some of the stories and characterprofiles are still only available in german language (my native language)
... sorry for that - I'm working on it.
This site went online in late 1999 the first time and began with just StarTrek drawings. Since then
this side is growing constantly and added other stuff too. You can visit me on deviantArt too...

I wish a good time and would be pleased about feedback (german or english please).
Jadzi

What shall I say... I got bored with the content structure of my old website (and the layout... I admit it) so here comes
the new one. I worked on that since christmas... since obviously thats what a child does with your spare time - you rarely have any :D.

I will redo 'The Hidden Truth' next since I think the characters need a bit refinement. And I rediscovered the Kalta-Siv Chronicles - a Star Trek FanFic I did way back. I also finished my FedCon 2019 Cosplay (Kaylee Frye from firefly) and finished most of this years comics (just some detailing to be done)...and that is obviously what 'Child visits grandparents for a week' to your avaiable time does. :D

This year was a bit more productive I think. Some FedCon related updates on 'The untold adventure of...' series - oh yes, my little comicstrips I do mostly for Fedcon? They finally got a decend title! - I have a couple new planned - let's see how this will work out.

Other than that I now It had been quiet with me since 2014 - I just don't have much spare time at the moment since I juggle beeing a mom for a 4 year old, having a fulltimejob and all the chores (which I fortunatly don't have to do on my own). But I'm working Star Trek Stuff (Pantera, Kalta Siv) and of course the 'Hidden Truth'. Mainly reorganising the story/ redrawing stuff but that's just to get into the right mood. So for the next 2 or 3 years please bear with me... ;) It will get better!

I'ts nearly two years now since we moved from NRW and we still think it was one of the best choices ever. The only time I'll come back to the Cologne/ Bonn/ Aachen area will be FedCon time.

Speaking of... Guestlistwise I really had my doubts at this years FedCon. It was more or less BSG themed which I never warmed up with - So I was looking forward to Daphne Zuniga (Spaceballs) and Jason Isaacs (ST:DISC, Harry Potter,...). Beside that these to where absolute fantastic, warm and gave me great memories, many of the BSG guests where great too! Like Rekha Sharma (who also was on ST:DISC and gave me my favorite Con Moment ;) ). So I had way more fun at Panels than expected!

For next year, FedCon seems to go back to what I loved them for. More Fandoms, lesser guests from each. So first 5 guests are spot on for me - and 5 signatures I need... uhm... and I have no f***ing ideas yet :D

New Year - new Luck ;)
The year comes to closure and again I was unable to post a blog or an update. That's life with a toddler - I lover every freaking minute of it HA! (except perhabs the 'getting upt at 7 on weekends' parts).

I uploaded the FedCon Comics of this June... and an update of the USS PANTERA Prolog. And my website is newish... new job, new toys - oh yes... I forgit. I have a new Job since February. And we moved. Somewhere my little one will get a better education than NRW

So... FedCon Time... Since we had a babysitter we were able to go - next year is settled too already ^^.
Back in Bonn the food situation was bad... really bad. We missed panels because we needed to get redressed (no, we don't do subway with costumes and Probs) go to the city, eat something, head back (without getting into cosutume again) that was a bit sad. But beside that it was great. Perhaps a bit monotonous due to only StarTrek guests.
I had my first Art trade... I got a wonderfull aquacolor painting of the Enterprise NX01 from Laurent in exchange for a copy of a comic I did for Ethan Phillips to sign

What else is new... Since there are a couple of you who obviously like my comics, I'm thinking of doing commissions... see how it goes...
Not sure yet. If your interessted feel free to post (for encouragement ;) ) or watch my deviantArt space bc I'll probably do it over there.

Wait Wait Wait... No update since OVER A YEAR? WTF? No this place is NOT abandoned... I'm so sorry. Time just flies if yor have a toddler and therefor discover the world a second time :)

Just updated a few stuff. A Tom Baker Signature (Yay!) some new pages which I uploaded time ago but forgot to put it into the news. Some FedCon Photos I forgot.
I changed the apperance of viewing a Comic a while ago... I hope you like it

The times of EMail Role Play Games are over as it seems... from a highpoint of 13 games (yes as a student I had no other hobbies ;) ) only one is left active - my USS Tigerseye (visit Website - it could use a couple of more players if you like this kind of writing... language is german)

I'll be at FedCon again next year - had to pass this year due to 'no babysitter' which was a bit sad because the guestlist with two doctors was great... well thats ok... we had the possibility of two conventions in 2014 - DST in London with the Enterprise Blues Band *yay*

Oh and I'll be finally back at work in january for halfdays! That's so awesome.
Still working on the 'The Hidden Truth' too but as I said it will take a while until further updates.

I'm not sure I can pull it of until the end but I'll do my very best. Main-Characters are all designed now and storywise I know where I'm going to although I haven't written all the storyboards yet.

I plan to update this comic chapter or scenewise (depends of the length of the specific chapter) which means I will not commit to a regular 'Every week a new page' schedule stuff. Schedules are for those get published and paid and do this as their main job ;)

There will be an website for this soon too plus I'm still looking for deviantgroups to affiliate, publish pages or other webcomic communities to put it on. Don't hesitate to contact me - no matter if it's feedback or affiliation requests :)

Time flies... so fast that 2013 went through like a storm but wanted to be one of my best years ever... and it succeeded!
First I found a job I really really like. No stopgap or such. Then in May my little timelady decided I should be her mommy and began her 40 week journey in my belly. Now she is 7 month old ^^.

While taking care of my little love here I try to start out a comic project. I hope I can get published someday...

Happy Holidays!
Whatever you are celebrating out there in this time of year: hope you had fun and a great time!

I used the time to do some bugfixes of my website, giving some tiny little changes and teasersfor projects in development. As we speak of bugfixing... What is an important part of a comment function? The 'Function' part. *going on my knees* I'm so sorry. I just forgot to implemet those inserts! I don't know how that happend but it's fixed now. If you have problem commenting or leaving a message please please... pretty please... contact me :)

Is it really since may LAST year I wrote something? How time flies... Ok.. where did we stop...what happend in this one and and a half year

The job I mentioned which I began in may last year? Lost it in august again. Well thats the problem if you're just honest - those who aren't just can't cope... but I found a new one quite quick and nearly have my 1st anniversary *yay*

What else... I had my first publication in july 2011... my thesis is available on amazon. Somehow pretty cool ^^

Uhm... oh FedCon this year was just awesome (no flop list for me this year *gg* ). Great guests, great costumes and I took part in the artshow :D AND they announced LeVar Burton for next years Con... need to get my 'aftermath' copy signed... and I did a pic which I probably put in the artshow:

It was the 20th FedCon and it was a blast!
After I didn't like the last one much this was awesome again. The new hotel is perhaps a bit confusing in the beginning but it got much more space which is a good thing.

My tops
- Garret Wang as MC! I mean i did liked Ed Wasser last year too but Garret ist... PERFECT. 'nuff said.
- this years autograph session was more relaxed and no queues before the room!
- the fotosession, as last year, was good again and the pics got a good quality
- Marina and Kate and Tony and Garret and Wil and... nearly all of the guests...

My 'flops' - lets say 'not-so-top'
- Touchscreens because they where never up to date. The computer scientist in me screemed for a server in the con office and a WLan connection to the operating system of the screens and no powerpoint but website
- SeaSheperd and Richard Dean Anderson. Sorry but people who endanger the life of anyone (human life is as precious as animal life!) just to make their point is nothing I will support. It's UNACCEPTABLE. There are other ways to fight for noble things than to destroy and hurt.

So I had a wonderfull weekend with my husband and my friends and... oh... I got a job now. I'll start in two weeks. 'YAY Excited...' or as Garret put it: 'FLUCHTWEGE!' - sorry an insider ^^

It was FedCon Time again.
Well I'm a bit torn. It couldn't match 2008 and 2009 but it had nothing to do with the gueststars. Those where awesome. The gorgeous, lovely and sweet Terry Farrell, the awesome and... I'm out of fitting words *lol* Chase Masterson. She was such a sweetie... and the funny David Hewlett and Joe Flannigan - the photoshoot was a blast. I was there with my husband and they took me between them with the words to my husband'See you later bro... bye' soooo funny.
And not to forget Michael Dorn although he seemed a bit tired...

I did have my 'squee' moments too. Chase Masterson and Terry Farrel - They both asked ME to sign the copy of the comic strip I brought them to sign for me.

So... my top and flops of this con:
Top:
- Ed Wasser as MC. Hilarious! Much much much much much better than Marc B... Who? Sorry I don't like this bloke. So I'm very happy with Ed Wasser and I hope he will do the job in the future

- The photographer. In 2008 my Pic with levar Burton was totally screwed up but this time all of my pics turned out really good - new one?

Flops:
- I booked together with friends and while they sitting in row D19 I was in C20 - ok somewhere the row ends but why was my seat not D20? So we could have sit together...

- The autographsession was a catastrophe! You can read in the program something like 'Don't smalltalk' But some of the gueststars WANTED exactly this. And most of the guests had nothing to do. Only the lines of David, Terry and Chase where constantly full. Why don't they try out the virtual queue system the London convention does? They use the ticket numbers to let peoples access the autosession in it's whole - why not use the numbers on the autotickets and use virtual queues for the different guests?
But it the autotickets itself (Name of the actor on it) where a good invention!

- Overall I didn't see much Panels so the confeeling wasn't really there. I was in queues most times. Queuing for Autograph sessions (although the one I wanted an auto was free but I wasn't allowed to enter the room due to my ticket number) queuing for Fotos, queuing for food...

Overall... the Sunday and the double Panels of Terry/Michael and Joe/David and Chase and Terry in the autosession rescued the Con for me. Had no real confeeling and missed the charme of Fedcons in 2008 and 2009. Hope they will change some of the things back next time - heard a lot of voices who are agreeing.

So that's it folks ^^
Pictures and comics are on this website so enjoy
Jadzi

During the last month I worked a bit on the website restructured or renewed things (Cassandra 2, my RPG Character pictures)

Oh yea... I have been at the FedCon again. Well nothing can top LeVar Burton last year I think but Chris Judge und John Billingsley where fantastic. Nice, funny... was just a wonderfull weekend
steadyly I get a really nice autograph collection ^^

Just saw... haven't write here since some time.
I got a new graphic tablett in the meantime. A Wacom Cintiq. The last two pages of 'to be klingon' are drawn complete with my computer - Yay. :o)
The second Cass Comic is now colored again and the pencilpages where replaced.

Wow, Nici/Jadzia ...that was so much fun! There's so much creative talent on this forum and I for one am honored to be among you all! And of course, I don't mind that Vaughn is singing my song. Now, its in 'animation form' and that is so cool! Thank you so much for this...and I look forward to future adventures. I also hope that we all get a 'casting' and soon. I love the little gold earring... nice touch. Thanks again... Bill

I told you in an e-mail, Nici, but I want to make it public. You are so talented! Bill's right. This forum is full of talented people. THese comic characters are so cute. Thank you for making us look so young...even if we are over 30. I know this is a lot of work and I appreciate the effort. We are blessed to have people like you thinking about us! Thank you sooo much!

I decided to abort my try to color the Cass comic part 2. One kind of coloring (like I do with my RPG Chars) costs to much time and the other (th eone I actually use) did not satisfy me.
I'll try it again with another project.

I have decided to dissolve the design section. I moved most of the entries there to 'RPG + Projects' and 'Pictures'.

On the spare place a new section is founded: 'Tutorials'.
I was doubtfully at first because I'm not so gut in explaning things and often those things seems to be a bit like 'Look at me, I did that, I'm great!' and I don't like that.
But some peoples asked me 'How did you draw these characters' or 'how did you do this?' and so I thought 'Ok... lets give it a try'

The single tutorial will be updated every now and then because I don't want limit these tutorial to a single grahical program, so all I did with corel I try to rebuild with other programs - or I try to describe with which tool I worked (I'll do that in the painting projects)

At the moment I run Corel and Gimp on my PC... I'll hope to expant the tutorials with Photoshop and Picture Publisher

Hi Due to around 1000 spanentrys the last 3 nights, I had to put the possibilty offline to comment my blog. I hope I''ll find a solution without captchas (the picture thingy-stuff) but perhaps I have to use them...

Time has come... Honey-Moon! ^^. Until I'm back, there are no updates - sorry for that. But therefor you get the beginning of a new Cass Story: 'To be klingon'. I know, the old is not finished but I wanted to try a complete new stile (complete drawn with PC) and I thought the beginning of the first chapter of the second, uncompleted adventure would quite good for it - much of Geordi, you know ;)
Hope you like it! ^^

Second there is a little comicstrip with Kira, signed by Nana Visitor at the LFCC 07 in London. I hope I will meet her again some day, she is very nice!

Nearly forgotten during all this excitement and work (no, no honeymoontrip yet... had to wait till september)
Since 06.07.07 I'm married. A first picture is online under photos ('me' section) who want to see more, let me know

I think, I did it. I didn't boot Windows since one week.
After my graphictablet worked with the new Debian Linux Kernel, there was only one reason not to change to Linux - the absence of a goog graphic programm.
Gimp was no alternative for me because since I was forced to work with version 1.2 I like to describe it as 'worse piece of code'. But... I discovered the last days, they changed something. Its now more suitable to work with - ok no replacement for my beloved Corel but... its ok

The first GIMP 'try' you can see under 'Pictures' --> 'CG Scribbles' - my new avatar in the independent union board.

you know I hate that saying.You can only improve yourself if you try (and perhaps fail and try again until you did it) something new and learn.
If you only do what you know you can achive/ handle/ do you are at a standstill.

I downloaded yesterday by pure chance the IE7. I normaly use Mozilla, because I don't like IE (reasons of security an graphical stuff) but... SURPRISE! Bill Gates kept promise. IE7 is able to do some standardstuff e.g. 'fixed' pictures.

I know, I promised it for october but you know... after we moved the semester began and I had a presentation in the second week.
kD-trees vs. BVH as acceleration structure in interactive Raytracing.
But know there are also 4 new pages for the Cassandra comic.

Finaly...
I passed today the last exam for my intermediate diploma in computing science *jippie*
I think the next days there will be only me an my sketch block... ok my notebook with my graph tablet too ;)

But I'm also sad. Ecuador was eliminated in the round of last sixteen in the soccer world championchip :'(
I hope to see them again in four years.

I decided that I have to draw the 'Cassandra' comic complet new. Yap, you can now beat me up for that. ;)
*ouch*ouch*ouch*

I know, some of you would call me insane now 'She did already 40 pages... and know everything new?'
Unfortunatly I'm a bit perfectionist - thanks to my daddy :P
A foretaste you can get with the new cover an the first two pages

Halftime! Ok... 3 of 5 is more than halftimet :P Also so the pedagogue I survived. So why do I need that stuff in my computer science studies? Perhaps I find the answer some day...*gg*
My next exam is shifted two days. From next thursday to next tuesday... but I'll hope I do it anyway
